    I have a XPS15 9570 2018 Windows 11 Pro laptop w SSD and have prepared a new, larger SSD with a fresh install of Windows 11. As I have many programs to install on the new SSD I need time to install them. So I want to swap back and forth over time until the new SSD can be my permanent new one. I have successfully put the new Windows installed SSD, into my laptop and it booted and worked nicely. There were many Windows updates and reboots after my install. I installed the old SSD it still works nicely. I have had several Windows updates on the old SSD and now using it to write this post.

    :)

    Please suggest how I can install a fresh copy of the windows in my new SSD with the existing license. And please suggest how to activate the new installation of Windows.

    Fresh Windows 11 install on new SSD after HDD stopped working.

    I want to do a fresh Windows 11 install after my HDD stopped working. There is no important data on the HDD. I'm installing a new 2TB SSD. Would it be as simple as the basic media creation on a USB to make this happen or is there a special procedure?
